Chapter 96: Why Should He Act?
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Looking at these confident old folks, Su Yang was pondering a question.
Should he play along with them?
For instance, pretend that it was a tough battle, and he got injured.
This way, he could lure the old rats of the Qingyang Immortal Alliance.
But after careful thought, acting?
Why should he act? He would just eliminate them all, straightforwardly.
As for the Qingyang Immortal Alliance, if they had the ability, they should hide well and not be found by him!
He didn’t lack anything, but he had plenty of time. He could search for the Qingyang Immortal Alliance while wielding his sword and eliminate all the evil cultivators within Qingyang.
With this thought in mind, Su Yang made a decision.
“Forget it… I’m not interested in playing with you guys.”
Su Yang shook his head.
“Hmm?” Wei Shansong’s face darkened. “Kid, what do you mean?”
Su Yang didn’t answer him.
In the field, many Celestial Realm experts felt a vast sword intent emanating from Su Yang.
In an instant, the entire celestial phenomenon within a hundred miles changed.
The clear sky turned into a canopy of dark clouds.
Within the dark clouds, lightning and thunder rumbled.
“Don’t waste time talking; since this kid dared to make the first move, he has no intention of cooperating. Let’s search for their corpses.”
The numerous Celestial Realm experts surrounding the flying boat noticed the situation.
With that, 37 people began to attack without hesitation.
When deciding to attack, they had to ensure it was a fatal blow to minimize casualties.
They didn’t want to face Su Yang one-on-one, nor did they want to engage in any hidden tactics.
In an instant, the surrounding celestial phenomena were completely altered.
Sword intent filled the air!
Blades danced in the sky, sometimes accompanied by snowflakes, sometimes by fierce winds…
A green aura permeated the area, carrying toxins deadly enough to kill Celestial Realm experts instantly.
Flames rose and spread towards the flying boat.
Rushing water covered the sky.
A giant palm seemed ready to crush everything…
Various techniques and trump cards were unleashed within this moment. They had no choice but to admit that if they didn’t use their full strength this time, they wouldn’t have a chance to strike again.
Although even with their full power, it wouldn’t make much difference.
“Hmm… It looks impressive, but scenes like these with various domains as part of the landscape are quite rare,” Gu Xiu sat calmly at the front of the flying boat. Faced with what seemed like a certain death situation, he remained composed.
He was just enjoying the view.
With the Sword Master present, he had no worries.
Sure enough, in the next moment, all the attacks that could have easily destroyed a city were torn apart by an instant surge of sword intent.
Obstructing the flying boat, they couldn’t even touch it.
“How is this possible!”
“With such means, how did that thing, Gu Tong, manage to escape?”
Wei Shansong couldn’t help but roar.
Everything that happened before his eyes left his mind blank, and he didn’t know where to begin.
Seeing this scene, some of the 37 top Celestial Realm experts on the scene didn’t hesitate to flee and use their escape techniques to leave.
The next moment, they regretted it.
“Wei Shansong, open the Heaven-Locking Array quickly!”
[Heavenly Sword – Thundering Thousand Swords! ]
The entire process took just a few breaths. In the sky, the thunderclouds were already covering the area.
While Thundering Thousand Swords was a single-target attack, it didn’t have to be.
In an instant, the sword intent, covered by a myriad of blue lightning and thunder, slashed through the sky.
The Heaven-Locking Array that covered a radius of a hundred miles was instantly shattered. Before the Thundering Thousand Swords, it was like paper.
Thirty-seven top Celestial Realm experts were killed in an instant.
They were shattered by Thundering Thousand Swords and turned into remnants that fell to the ground, becoming nourishment.
“Old Gu, let’s go.”
“Sword Master, wait a moment. I’ll collect the storage equipment of these people first.”
“Oh, right, I almost forgot. It’s just that these resources are too ordinary.” Su Yang suddenly remembered that he forgot to loot the corpses.
Mainly because killing the Celestial Realm experts didn’t yield much helpful resources.
Well… it’s not just about looting.
After Gu Xiu collected the storage equipment of these people, he sat in front of the flying boat contentedly, controlling the direction and sorting through the contents of these storage items.
As for Su Yang, he had already returned and continued wielding his sword.
In the meantime, the Silent Sword Deer watched silently.
The thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipated.
The flying boat slowly moved on.
Continuing to fly over Qingzhou’s skies.
In a short time, no one would discover that thirty-seven top Celestial Realm experts had died here.
[Will of All Beings +23111]
Among these thirty-seven people, many were evil cultivators, and Wei Shansong alone provided 9999 points.
Five more days passed.
In these five days, Su Yang completely scoured Qingzhou, killing at least a thousand evil cultivators.
But even so, he still couldn’t find any traces of the Qingyang Immortal Alliance.
“Could they not be in Qingzhou?”
Su Yang had a suspicion.
Since he couldn’t find them all this time, he didn’t intend to keep searching endlessly.
First, he needed to restore the vitality of Qingzhou’s land. If the other side continued to damage the world, he would naturally find them.
The Heavenly Dao consciousness had stated that it could consume the origin to restore vitality to the entire Qingzhou.
Originally, he had planned to deal with these evil cultivators of the Qingyang Immortal Alliance and then consider restoring vitality.
In these five days, his sword intent had reached level 50!
At the same time, his physique had also reached the sixth grade.
In the following days, with the help of medicinal baths, he reached the fifth grade in just five days, an extremely fast pace.
The main reason was the increase in the level of his sword intent, and the effect of [Body Tempering – Astral Wind] had also greatly improved.
This significant improvement occurred when his sword intent reached level 50, seeming to break through to a completely new level.
Not only did the effect of [Body Tempering – Astral Wind] improve significantly.
The effect of the Spider Web also reached a completely new stage. The coverage area not only allowed him to perceive the shapes of objects but also see their specific appearance.
In other words, within the range covered by his sword intent, he could see everything.
With the presence of [Eye of Tracking], he could also know the opponent’s realm level.
This was a significant improvement.
Apart from the increase in strength, some other events also occurred during this period.
For example, the Destruction Sword Formation he set up at the base of the Evil Saint Sect would occasionally activate. Some Evil Saint Sect cultivators who had just returned to their lair would die as soon as they entered.
There was also Gu Tong, who went to another evil cultivator’s base.
Based on what [Eye of Tracking] saw, Gu Tong probably went there for a visit.
It was also an evil cult.
Not bad at all, visiting an old friend; old friends should visit each other.
Su Yang noted the location for now and didn’t go there immediately.
Like this, after sweeping through Qingzhou, Su Yang returned to Qingzhou City once again.
But Qingzhou City was now vastly different from when Su Yang first arrived.
On his first day, the common people were lifeless, barely surviving but unable to eat their fill. Even the city, although better than the smaller towns, was not much better off.
Now, it was different. The common people seemed more active.
At least, they had the strength to engage in conversations.
Previously, being so hungry that they couldn’t even speak properly was common.
The main topic of their conversations was the arrival of the Grand Xia Sword Immortal and the destruction of the Bai family.
However, besides chatting, these common people were also worried about the future.
Qingzhou’s situation was currently dire.
The vitality of the land had been severed, so what would they do in the future?
Where would their future lead?
